Outline level auto-select custom style
Hello,
I have a word document that has custom styles defined, each for their own outline level. It all works fine, except for one aspect: trying to alter the level number in outline mode using Alt-Shift-Left/Right correctly changes the level number, but it doesn't change the style. eg. if current para is Level2, Style MyStle_L2, hitting Alt-Shift-Left will set it at Level1, but the style will stay at MyStyle_L2. Any suggestions? some other tidbits: - the styles MyStyle_L1... MyStyle_L5 are all cascaded, with MyStyle_L1 being based on Normal style. - All these custom styles have the level-Style mapping set the same, presumably because I set them up in MyStyle_L1, and the rest are cascaded versions of this. - due to this problem, whenever I want to pro/de-mote a para to another level, I always re-apply the required style to the para. I never directly indent the para. - The doc was originally made up of a mish-mash of other styles and direct format/numbering edits applied all over, which I've now totally replaced with my custom styles, and all appears to work well, other than this problem. - The only difference I can see between my custom styles and the default Heading1... Heading5 styles is that the defaults aren't cascaded, and the level-style mapping isn't done for all levels in all styles - just the particular level for each particular style. The reason I'm not concerned about this is that various outline info websites (eg. 7 outline laws @ microsystems.com, and shaunakelly.com) suggest doing things my way anyway. Any help appreciated. |
